Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:41:14 +0000http://theconnectivist.wordpress.com/?p=9670#comment-2991Well, Governments around the globe are behaving like the ratio of exploiting the resources of our most exploited, and tribulated Earth, with it’s disastrous ecological implications, and the disparity between the rich minority, and the others (Now an overwhelming majority demonstrated by the number of people who recognize the problem of capitalism) it’s of no importance.
What can we say?
That we want what the article mentions:
“People want health care and education to be social goods, not market commodities, so we can choose to put public goods back in public hands. People want the fruits of production and the yields of our generous planet to benefit everyone, rather than being siphoned up by the super-rich, so we can change tax laws and introduce potentially transformative measures like a universal basic income. People want to live in balance with the environment on which we all depend for our survival; so we can adopt regenerative agricultural solutions and even choose, as Ecuador did in 2008, to recognize in law, at the level of the nation’s constitution, that nature has “the right to exist, persist, maintain, and regenerate its vital cycles.”

And we want it now!

Before the resentment, and contempt from those in the majority choose to teach a a brutal lesson to those in the minority, who are happy with things as they are.

Thank you. 🙂

Abstract
Modern-day society is increasingly described as an extensive web of networks, but as such, it is often perceived and experienced as elusive. In light of this paralysing description, this paper aims to highlight the potentially political dimension of network analysis, namely as defined in the social sciences, and of the notion of networks itself. It will be shown that a political project could, in this case, be built on the desire to know this reticular world better, but also to be able to act appropriately towards it. Three steps are proposed to specify how such a political project could be built. The first step aims at deploying knowledge of networks and emphasises the usefulness of a procedure to trace them. The second step shows the possibilities that this knowledge offers, particularly in allowing one to find one’s bearings in a world which is frequently described as veering towards an increasing complexity, and by helping to rebuild the selection criteria for connections in this world, thanks to an additional degree of reflexivity. The third step draws on these points to extend them and bring out potentialities with regards to the intervention capacities in network configurations.
